Quotes
- «concerns are growing among some medical professionals about the consequences of the drugs, a New York Times examination found.» citation needed
- «The questions are fueling government reviews in Europe, prompting a push for more research and leading some prominent specialists to reconsider at what age to prescribe them and for how long.» citation needed
- «A small number of doctors won’t recommend them at all.» Is that number smaller than the fairly large number of doctors who are simply prejudiced against trans people, and will avoid treating them without citing reasons?
- «“There’s going to be a price,” said Dr. Sundeep Khosla, who leads a bone research lab at the Mayo Clinic. “And the price is probably going to be some deficit in skeletal mass.”» Is that risk demonstrably more than the risk of suicide from not treating?
- «In 2015, four prominent American gender clinics were awarded $7 million to examine the effects of blockers and hormone treatment on transgender youth. In explaining their study, the researchers pointed out that the United States had produced no data on the impact or safety of blockers, particularly among transgender patients under 12, leaving a “gap in evidence for this practice.” Seven years in, they have yet to report key outcomes of their work, but say the findings are coming soon.» So why are we fearmongering about it now? Why not wait for the data?
